what to know so you can align with today’s energy from a vedic (not western/tropical) astrology point of view: it’s wednesday, august 26, moon is in capricorn, in the starspace called śravaṇa until early afternoon, then dhaniṣṭhā, it’s the fourteenth phase of the waxing moon & mercury’s day.
capricorn …
… vibrates with the frequency of business & the business of our life. it’s where we take commitments & long-term goals seriously & take consistent, calculated action steps forward that reflect our highest worldly values—whether for career or family life—which change over time. as the tenth house of the natural zodiac, capricorn is where we get to test our capacity to handle the responsibilities & duties of our material existence.
time to step up & embrace them!
śravaṇa …
… is ruled by vishnu, the all-pervading force that sustains our existence, reminds us that we are each strung like pearls on the thread of his necklace, are all enlivened by the same spirit. seeing sameness rather than difference, allows us to more easily tap into the vast well of our compassion.
how deep is your well?
dhaniṣṭhā …
… means “wealthiest” & its symbol is a drum. it reminds us that wealth comes when we find our own personal rhythm & honor it, align fully with it, dance unabashedly to the beat of our own drummer.
wealth, in vedic terms, is wisdom, vidya, not a pile of gold in a bunker.
“society will tell you that wealth is money, but actually it’s having good friends, a flexible schedule, deep sleep, peace of mind & living in a nourishing home.”—yung pueblo
how wealthy do you feel?
the fourteenth lunar day (tithi), …
… the fourteenth phase of the waxing moon, means we have a full moon tomorrow, & it’s accompanied by a partial lunar eclipse in the evening MDT, so do plan accordingly. do not plan to stand outdoors & stare at it—rather, go outside tonight & bask it its fullness. the energy around eclipses is unstable & unpredictable—you want to be indoors, meditating if possible, or as my friend nan plans to do, get in a tub then into bed under lots of covers.
it is also not a good time to launch anything (business, relationship, etc.), to confront anyone (more below), to sign on a dotted line.
more tomorrow.
wednesday …
… is ruled by mercury, who, according to his personal mantra, is “gentle & serene in nature, reflecting calmness, balance, diplomacy & composure.” he is “endowed with noble & gentle qualities, signifying wisdom, adaptability, communication, learning, humility & harmonious relationships.”
with mercury combust the sun—i.e., getting way too hotted up—do be especially careful to use your words to create harmony, not discord. note that gentle is referenced twice in his mantra!

the daily bliss is 100% human generated! the act of creation is intrinsic to being human—when we give up our agency to create, we cease, little by little, to be fully human.
may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little (or a lot!) more bliss in your life.
